thanks for all your efforts. i'm pretty new to flashing. eventually i got 5048 to work but the only flaw it has is it randomly resets itself. sometimes consecutively like 7-8 times in a row when unplugged. when it's plugged into the laptop or wall jack it's fine but very unstable when not. i did a search on this thread and haven't found any issues about this. i've done soft resets and if unplugged it'll continue to loop and reset. the last time i did a hard reset i think i was back in bootloader mode. i tried to relock but that wasn't going. maybe i was at the wrong stage for it to make a difference. thanks again
